Brad Keselowski on racing at Fontana's Auto Club Speedway:
"It took several Nationwide Series starts at Auto Club Speedway
for me to pick up my first top-five. I was finally able to break
through in the last race there and now I am ready to go to Victory
Lane. We have a good shot at doing that this weekend. Paul Wolfe
(crew chief) has the No. 22 America's Tire Dodge Charger team working
well together. We have great power with our Penske Racing engines and
our pit crew is as good as any on pit road. Those are two critical
areas when racing at Auto Club Speedway because passing can sometimes
be difficult, especially if you are stuck in traffic."
Crew chief Paul Wolfe on racing at Fontana's Auto Club Speedway:
"We want to make sure that we have the No. 22 America's Tire Dodge
Charger turning in the center of the corner and driving well off the
corner throughout the race. You need to be pretty precise with the
setup because the race can and will stay green for long periods of
time. If the car is not handling right you can lose spots quickly.
Aerodynamics are key there too. It's a very high-speed track, one of
the fastest that we will go to all year. Drafting even comes into play,
which you don't think about at places other than Daytona and Talladega."
Brad's Nationwide Career Record:
Starts: 105
Poles: 3
Wins: 6
Top 5: 33
Top 10: 53
Winnings: $5,041,600
